LUNA'S LUCK registered his best effort so far when finishing third last time out and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking in this opening contest. Michael Halford's charge shaped as if further would suit on that occasion and he can get the better of his rivals today with Above Us Only Sky, runner-up over 7f here last time capable of recording another placed effort by finishing second. Of the remainder Highly Approved has been running well in handicaps of late and she can claim third.
